May 3, 1978 — February 24, 2025

Rodrick Demond Jones, beloved son, grandson, brother, nephew, and friend, passed away
February 24, 2025 in Welsh at the age of forty-six.

Rodrick “Wuu” was born in Lacassine on May 3, 1978, the son of the late Ronda Jones and
Karen Haley Williams. He was a graduate of Welsh High School and did office work through
Res Care. An avid sports fan, he enjoyed cheering on the New Orleans Saints and the Los
Angeles Lakers. Listening to all types of music was another of his favorite things.

Rodrick was a walking miracle, leaving behind a legacy of laughter, resilience, and boundless energy.
Despite the physical challenges he faced, he excelled in the Special Olympics winning many
races, proving time and again that determination knows no limits. His quick wit and infectious
humor brought joy to everyone around him, making even the toughest days brighter. Though his
time with us was short, he lived fully, fearlessly, and with a heart that inspired all who knew
him. Being with his family and friends brought Rodrick peace. He will be truly missed by all
who knew and loved him.

Left to cherish his memory are his brothers, Dontae “Jimmy” Williams (Tameika),
Jamie Williams, Morris Haley, and Tyren Williams; grandmother, Lucy Jones; aunts and
uncles, Mervin Jones (Annette), Cynthia Goodly (James), Rondelian Brown, Eleanor Jones, Kelly Williams (Preston, Jr.), and Corliss Haley; as well as many cousins and friends.

He is preceded in death by his father, Ronda Jones; mother, Karen Williams; brother, Dominic Jones; paternal grandfather, Irvin “TeTe” Joseph Jones; maternal grandparents, Ted Langley and Irma Sue Haley.
